CALGARY - The second phase of sales for retail space in the planned New Horizon Mall, in the Balzac area, was a smashing success on the weekend. Eli Swirsky, president of The Torgan Group which is developing the project with The MPI Property Group, told the Herald on Monday that sales activity was “amazing” with agreements for purchase in place for all 26 food court units in the mall, which sold out very quickly. It also has commitments for purchase for up to 85 per cent of all the more than 500 retail stores.

CALGARY - CrossIron Mills will undertake a $60-million redevelopment as the shopping mall, just outside Calgary, plans a major relocation and expansion of its food court, allowing for the addition of more rental spaces in high demand by retailers. “With Greater Calgary’s tremendous population growth rate and high disposable income, we are capitalizing on the opportunity to expand CrossIron Mills to welcome more world-class premium outlet brands that are seeking a truly successful retail destination with a proven track record,” said John Scott, senior vice-president of development for Ivanhoé Cambridge, which owns the mall.

CrossIron Mills will literally be bringing shoppers to the Balzac area mall when it launches next week a Shopping Shuttle service for tourists and locals. The service from downtown and northeast Calgary will run from July 1 to September 1 with three pick-up and drop-off trips per day, seven days a week.

Cam Davidson, owner of the Calgary and Winnipeg operations for the store, said the latest store, across the street and just east of the CrossIron Mills shopping centre, will also rival the Heritage Drive S.W. store as the top selling location in North America.

Airdrie used to be a landmark along the Queen Elizabeth 2 Highway. But over the past half decade, the one-time small town has become development central, a satellite community that has swarms of Calgarians moving slightly north.
